' GAS BURNER.

Application filed October 14', 1926, Serial no. 141,539, and iii CanadaMarch 29,"- 192's.

. ically burning gas, particularly natural gas.

The object is to provide a gas burner which may be cheaply constructedand which ,will

confine and direct the heat produced by "the V burninggas to the pointswhere it will be most eflicient invconveying heat units-producedby theburning gas to the object to be heated. a

A further object is to produce a high degree of heat at the burneropenings through which the gas flows, with a view to burning substanceswhich may be deposited about or in the gas deliveryopenings, thuskeeping these openings clean and effective forthe delivery of gas. i i

The invention'consists in the construction and combinations hereinafterdescribed and illustrated in the accompanying drawings,

and as specifically set forth in the appended claims.- I In the annexeddrawings Figure l is atop plan VlW of a burner constructed in accordancewith my inven- 1 Fig. 2 is a perspective view thereof partly brokenaway.

The pipe 6 is provided with a valve 7for controlling the supply of gas, with'which is associated suitable airinlet means adapted to supply the gas with the proper proportion of airand II11X the same together. The end of the pipe 6 within the combustionchamber is provided with a burner tip't, having a closed top andapertures 5 in its side walls. The cylindrical wall-member 3 isconcentrically placed with respect to the burner tip and is located at adistance therefrom such that the frame of V 50 the burning gases willimpinge thereon.

ing on the burner, the following operation burner tip by whichitis'directed laterally against the deflecting wall hen mixed i withaproper volume of air it will burnwith a blue flame which impingesagainst the defl ng wall 3. The heat developed by c mbustion greatlyincreases the volume of the stood. During combustion, an'air currentpasses upwardly through theapertures 2. in

the base plate; Asthe gas isfdirected later- [ally toward the deflectingwane, any part thereof which impinges thereon willneces-' 'sarily haveto change; its direction of motion with aY consequent lessening of itsvelocity, and an: increase n pressure. Low velocity and high pressureare conditions most favorable for combustion; henceif any unburnedigases strike the :deflectingfwallf they will therebyfbe placed inalfav'orable condition gfor complete combustion 'with the ,oxygeni'n 1 Ithe upward draft of "air through theaper tures 2 in the base plate. Theheat "developed'by combustionlraises the deflecting wall 3 to a-hightemperature, which heats the air in the annular chamber betweendefleeting wall 3 and marginal wall 8, and causes an upward draft inthis annular chamber .by a current of fresh air passing upwardly throughthe apertures 2. Withthis marginal wall member 8, the heat radiatedlaterally outwardly is taken up-by an r upward current of air andusefully applied to the vessel being heated. In addition, the ascendingcolumn of hot .air thus formed tends to confine the heat produced in thecombustion chamber to theunderside of the vessel. By giving the marginalwall an upward inclination or an inward curve at the upper edge, thisascending'column of air entire un e swim- 'fthe v se fit d n also 'toidistribnte the-hot. pmducts of coxnbastion developed inv :the combustionchamb rlioverthe entiwuhderneath"surfa e. of-i le "sseLxl The burfne fdisclosed ialso keeps the andiconyection ,from the hot Wall 3,
